Cobb County now is looking to lease, instead of sell, the former board of elections building and the current facilities of the property management department.
Last month, commissioners approved putting the buildings along Waddell Street up for sale with an asking price of $3.5 million, but the county only received one bid. Now the county is hoping the buildings can become income-producing assets with the rents possibly used to offset the cost of renovations of Powder Springs Station, the former strip mall along Powder Springs Street, where the departments were relocated.
Commissioners will vote on the lease option Tuesday.
